The Klitschkos say Haye can pick whichever one he wants to fight: Who will it be?
December 25th, 2010
By Dan Ambrose: The Klitschko brothers, who share three of the four heavyweight titles, made a joint statement recently to the German news organization the Bild, saying “We promise that in 2011 the fight against [WBA heavyweight champion David] Haye will come. We want this fight at all costs. He may choose against which of us he wants to step in the ring to lose his world title.” Haye, 30, is reportedly ready to face Wladimir Kltischko and has already agreed to a 50-50 deal, which included 50% of the British pay-per-view money that the Klitschkos had been requested.
Wladimir may have the better athletic skills compared to his slower brother, but his chin is weak and he’s not as relaxed or as confident as Vitali. It may not matter, however, because Wladimir has a lot more size and experience at heavyweight compared to the smaller Haye. We don’t really know how good Haye is at the heavyweight level because the toughest opponent he’s faced in the past two years was the slow and old Nikolay Valuev, who Haye barely beat by a 12 round majority decision in 2009.
If Haye were to fight Wladimir the same way he fought Valuev, Haye would lose badly and not win a round. He can’t beat Wladimir throwing 10 punches per round and just running in circles. The same goes for if Haye were to fight Vitali. Haye would have to make a much more concerted effort if he wants to come out on top against Vitali. Throwing 10 punches per round just isn’t going to get the job done against the Klitschkos.

Haye would have to fight Vitali like lewis did assert himself and hope for the best probably getting stopped unless he can land the Hayemaker often and like Lennoxe open a cut severe enough to halt the war.wladamir will i think catch Haye with either hand and hurt him enough for him to cover up and run.,becawse he will be under assault.One like he has not experienced.
@….Chase Dallas……not a chance dude…..a horrible mismatch.
Sorry, but he’ll pick Calderon!!!
100 percent jackson…people keep going on about how wlad and vitali hasnt fought any1 like haye (which is nonsence) but its haye who has never faced anything like these brothers they r a diff class and there is a reason they hardly lose rounds in there fights…
haye will be the best fighter either k brother has fought in a while. but either brother will not only be the best fighter haye has ever faced, but the biggest, strongest, and fastest…giving him no chance. haye has never been in the ring with a good fighter at cruiserweight or heavyweight…and i am starting to feel sorry for him because he is acting like he is serious about this…and what is holding up the fight is the 1/2 million haye wants up front to buy out the german television rights…
It seems to me as if haye is trying to gain time to bypass his compulsory fight against chagaev. I really am looking forward to seeing the fight between these two, if it will ever happen with this evasive strategy haye has been staging.
At this moment in time I don’t see anybody being a threat to Vitali. Apart from father time, and would appear to be on holiday.
Honest question. Does anyone out there think Haye can beat Vitali? Personel of the Haye campe excluded from the question please.
Wlad id the biggest puncher in boxing. Haye has one of the worst defenses in boxing, Wlad has much quicker hands, that sounds like a slaughter to me.
Haye if you think you’ve finally found your ba**s, look again.
Haye’s answers: 1.) None at the moment. 2.) None this year. 3.) Never.
@bully i agree with u man, how do we know that haye is better than any of the guys that the klits have taken out recently. Id like to see haye take on peter or chambers…
@ Raving drunk,
what makes you think Haye is better than Chagaev or Samuel Peter?
Haye has strayed away from the two in the past, but if he does face them chances are he is gonna beat one of the two. He would struggle to beat vitali, but at the end of the day is the fight ever gonna happen, I can’t see it.
haye wants to fight wladimir because hes the easiest option. Vitalis never been down. Haye of course wont admit hes scared of vitali. I’d say it’ll be very interesting with wladimir. Hayes got a good chance but they are both smart camps and know what it takes to beat their opponents. Vitali would destroy haye no doubt tho. Too strong and experienced.
Should be a good fight against either, Haye will be the best figher either kiltscko brother has fought in years so we will see who wins, I think Haye might sneak it!! The brothers are a bit scared their stalling!
Ambrose do you hate all british fighters name one that you like?? I reckon you’ll say lennox lewis so name a different one! Bet you cant cos you got so much hate for the UK. sad sad!!
